Finally home from hospital with ds ~ aye

[anewvance]

Well we went into the ER on Monday morning and we finally got home tonight. He was severely dehydrated which I thought was odd because we were giving him the drink every 15 minutes. He was SO listless when we got there, he was dry as a bone. In the ER, they tried ELEVEN times to get an iv in him including his feet. Finally the doctor had to give him one in the neck, ouch! He was one ticked off puppy. They started with the fluids and said we'd see at 10pm how he was to see if he would be admitted... that he should be bouncing off the walls by then and ready to go. Got to 10pm and he was still completely out of it and limp.. doctor told us he was being admitted. So around 12:30am we got the move up to pedatrics... our own room which was good. Dh had left around 11pm so it was just Ian and I. After answering around a million questions they finally let me lay down for awhile. I think I got a total of an hour and a half sleep Mon night. We were told it would be just overnight but all day yesterday he was still completely listless and refused to drink so they made us stay again last night. Today he was better and finally got him up and about and we played in the playroom and he started drinking. The agreement was 5oz every 4 hours for 3 cycles to get to go home. So at 6pm we finally got to come home!!! He still has massive diarreah, nasty! And he is still in a foul mood and pretty tired and too himself. But as long as he is drinking they said he's good.

My younger dd Julia had thrown up on Sunday night and had diarreah so she didn't go to school on Monday. So Monday night I was told Hannah had diarreah so she didn't go to school on Tuesday. Today both of them ended up at the school office at the same time and my grandfather had to pick them up. Hannah seems fine... Julia is REALLY sick. She's been throwing up all night and has massive diarreah. She is drinking ok for now though. Great fun to come home to huh?

Anyway, if you've read this far... please bestow upon us some healthy vibes? I'm exhausted!

Yikes! I was wondering how your son was doing. Hopefully your DD will bounce back faster and with any luck you won't get it. Take care of yourself!

Glad to hear he is doing better! Big hugs to you guys.

 

[Breezy_Carol]

to you and that everyone gets better soon.

 

[piglet too]

Thanks for the update. Sorry that it was not better news, but it does sound like he is getting better now. Keeping my fingers crossed that your girls get better fast as well.

Oh bless your heart you poor thing. My thoughts are with you and I hope everyone starts to feel better soon and things get back to normal. Try to take care of yourself too. Hopefully you won't get sick as well. Take a minute and have a good cry! I always think that's a good release.

 

[Mom2Ashli]

Oh my goodness. You poor things. Glad to hear your little guy is okay and hope that the rest get well soon.

 

[amburger]

Oh wow. Can't imagine that's too fun for anyway. Hope everyone recovers quickly!!

I hope they all get better quick.

Thanks guys. Julia is pretty sick, she has 103.5 degree fever, taken in the ear so I am sure it's a little higher. She has thrown up twice tonight and diarreahed more then we can count. But she's drinking which is good. The doctor in the ER told me if any of my kids threw up more then 3 times in a 12 hour period to bring them in immediately because that Rotovirus hit the baby so hard and we didn't want to go through the hard time Ian had getting the iv in. I think that might have been a little overboard but we'll see what happens in the next hours....

WOW!! What an ordeal. Hope he does well in the days ahead. And the girls also.
